Safety & Accountability
Protecting our families by solving crimes
Murderers and rapists need to be stopped, brought to justice and punished. Yet, on average, a shocking 46% of homicides and 56% of rapes go unsolved every year. Our limited law enforcement resources should be used to solve more crimes, get more criminals off our streets and to protect our families.
Police, Sheriffs and District Attorneys now lack the funding that they need to quickly process evidence in rape and murder cases, to use modern forensic science such as DNA testing, or even hire enough homicide and sex offense investigators. Law enforcement should have the resources needed for full enforcement of the law. By solving more rape and murder cases and bringing more criminals to justice, we keep our families and communities safer.
Holding convicted killers accountable
Convicted murderers must be held accountable and pay for their crimes. Today, less than 1% of inmates on death row work and, as a result, they pay less restitution to victims. Every person convicted of murder should be required to work for the rest of their lives in a high security prison and money earned should be used to help victims through the victim’s compensation fund, consistent with the victims’ rights guaranteed by Marsy’s Law.
Life without the possibility of parole means inmates will die in prison
The SAFE California Act replaces the death penalty with life in prison without the possibility of parole as the maximum punishment for murder; inmates will never be released from prison.
